Like many, I got the Pro subscription via my provider almost a year ago. It was my first experience with AI, and I loved it.

In the meantime, I started to work with Claude, but still found lots of value in Perplexity. One was for work projects, and the other for research and quick chats.

Since then, Perplexity's quality has declined. Chats answered very generically, whatever the model I was using. Lately, they pushed me to replace the legacy app (through the App Store) with the computer app, which is slow and clunky.

Working every day with these tools has changed my expectations, or is Perplexity becoming objectively less efficient lately?

The font sizes in the new Raycast app feel much smaller than in V1, and it makes reading noticeably less comfortable. V1 is much more readable.

Are there any plans to add a font size setting, display scaling, or another readability option in a future update ?

I know you have more important things in your backlog. But if you ever get a break between bug fixes have you considered expanding the sound design options a bit?

I find the default sounds a bit "heavy".

Hi,

I was a daily Bear user for two years, up until the new editor launched. At that point, the app no longer matched my needs, so I had to stop using it.

Recently, I needed a Markdown app that works well with Claude and other AI tools. Obsidian ended up being my only real option, mainly because it can work with local folders and plain Markdown files. The problem is that I do not really enjoy using Obsidian, for me, it feels too complex.

I keep thinking about Bear, because in many ways it is still the app I would prefer to use. What I would love is not for Bear to become a traditional file-and-folder app, but simply to support local folders like Obsidian does. In other words, I am not asking for a more complex folder-based interface inside Bear itself. I am asking for the ability to work with Markdown notes stored in local folders on disk, while keeping Bear’s clean and simple experience.

If Bear could do that, it would be close to perfect for modern AI-assisted workflows.

So far, I've been using Claude, especially with CoWork and code, and Perplexity is my all-rounder for quick everyday questions.

Am I missing something regarding what computer can do.?

Raycast says it has started rolling out its new version to a few privileged users. But there have been no leaks on social media presenting the new features.

Do you need to have signed a non-disclosure agreement to access the new Raycast ?

What interesting things does it include besides a redesign ?
